Granite Belt, Wine and agricultural region in Queensland, Australia
The Granite Belt extends across Queensland's Great Dividing Range, featuring distinct rock formations and high-altitude terrain above 1,000 meters.
European settlement in the Granite Belt began in 1827 when explorer Allan Cunningham discovered the area, leading to pastoral stations and mining activities.
Over 50 wineries produce varieties including Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Merlot, while local farmers cultivate apples and stone fruits throughout the region.
The region sits two and a half hours from Brisbane by car, with accommodation options ranging from lodges near vineyards to cottages in national parks.
The area experiences Queensland's coldest temperatures, with occasional snowfall recorded in 1984, 2007, and 2015, creating specific conditions for grape cultivation.
